Almost a thousand of animal activists and other caring people joined the conference.

Many environmentalist groups and animal advocates adopt programs aimed to protect animals. Some of these campaigns had been widely accepted and the impact had been beneficial to impart awareness to the general public. One of which is the Sea Shepherd’s Operation Musashi, the name was chosen to reflect Sea Shepherd’s approach of aggressive, non-violent, confrontation and the increasing global awareness of illegal whaling activities. This also increases global campaign to protect creatures in the Antarctic waters. To clarify issues, Sea Shepherd is not a protest organization.
